Munidopsis Whiteaves, 1874: 212 , 213.

Remarks. More than 150 species of Munidopsis are presently known, of which 11 have been reported from Australian waters ( Davie 2002, Baba 1994, Baba & Poore 2002). Of the species reported below, four are described as new. Munidopsis centrina Alcock & Anderson, 1894 , Ms. dasypus Alcock, 1894 (under the account of M. kensleyi n. sp.), and Ms. subsquamosa Henderson, 1885 are newly reported from Australian waters. Note that previous records of M. dasypus from Australia ( Baba & Poore 2002) are based on M. kensleyi . All but three Australian species ( Ms. antonii Filhol, 1884 , Ms. cidaris Baba, 1994 , M. dasypus ) are represented in the study area, so the key below includes all known Australian species of Munidopsis .
